Consider the maximum cable length between the meter and transmitter. The maximum recommended distance between the two devices is 1000 ft (300 m). Micro Motion recommends using Micro Motion cable. □ For optimal performance, install the meter in the preferred orientation.
Thermally insulate the meter and the inlet and bypass-loop pipeline to maintain stable temperatures. • There are no pipe run requirements for Micro Motion meters. Straight runs of pipe upstream or downstream are unnecessary. • Keep the meter tubes full of process fluid.

Wiring Hazardous area output wiring Micro Motion provides safety barrier and galvanic isolator installation kits for wiring the meter in a hazardous environment. These kits provide the appropriate barriers or isolators depending on the outputs available and approvals required. Information provided about wiring the safety barriers and galvanic isolators is intended as an overview.
Page 25
Wiring RS-485 output and cable parameters All connections to the meter receive their power from the connected intrinsically safe barrier. All cable parameters are derived from the output parameters of these devices. The RS-485 connection also receives power from the connected barrier (MTL7761AC), although this connection has specific output and cable parameters.
